Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of the vertical fold, with some creases, scuffs, and a few tears scattered in the bottom, and some tiny tears and tiny paper loss around the edges. Someone (likely soon after the poster was created) glued a snipe over the bottom right corner. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone many years ago backed the poster onto thin linen with no excess and no restoration, and it surely should be removed from that thin linen and properly re-backed. Please bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
